Staircase - contemporary wooden u-shaped open staircase idea in San Francisco

Kitchen Craftsmen created this amazing Scandinavian styled kitchen and laundry for the Ferguson Family featuring Essastone Australia Carrara Matt bench tops that are scratch, stain and chemical resistant. Our favourite part is the Franke Australia Fragranite Sink in Onyx and the low-level cabinet fronts in Graphite Grey Createc by Polytec, which expertly contrast the light wooden floors and Natural Oak Ravine cabinets also by Polytec. Just when you thought you’d seen all this kitchen has to offer, inside the cabinets and drawers you will find an ultra-modern black texture finish, a great little touch that is sure to impress even your most discerning guests.

The 2023 Southern Living Idea House is an oasis on the Tennessee hillside. Bill Holloway and Luke Sippel of Lake + Land Studio had the task of building and designing the perfect home for clients who loved dogs, music, and indoor-outdoor living. The 5,600-square-foot contemporary Southern farmhouse in Leiper’s Fork was intentionally placed to fit the surrounding natural landscape. Holloway and Sippel wanted the home to feel as though it had always been there. An important element of Southern living was present in the home’s design and build: porches. The home has a large, covered porch that runs the nearly the entire length of the back of the home on the main floor and one on the lower level. Using Marvin Ultimate multi-slide doors on the porch unified the indoor and outdoor spaces. The multi-slide door has the ability for the door to open fully, seamlessly blending the two spaces.
